"This review is long overdue! We had the pleasure of working with Robert on renovating our new house from top to bottom almost a year ago, and we are still thrilled with the results. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to quality has created a deep trust in Robert. He is top of our list and we have recommended him and his team to all our family and friends. We knew he would be a good fit from the initial consultation. Roberto managed everything with care and great attention to detail. Robert and his team executed our vision so well and everyone who has been over have showered us with compliments at how good everything looks. Throughout the renovation Roberto maintained excellent communication, keeping us updated at every stage. They were always punctual, courteous, and willing to answer any questions we had. His team was respectful of our home and ensured that the worksite was clean and organized at the end of each day. The quality of workmanship has proven to be outstanding and the custom work will last us for years to come. Another impressive aspect of working with Roberto and team was their ability to stay on schedule and within budget. They provided a clear timeline at the beginning of the project and adhered to it, completing the work on time without any unexpected costs. Even after the project was completed, Roberto continued to provide exceptional customer service and followed up to ensure we were satisfied with the work. We highly recommend Roberto to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and professional contractor. Our new house is beautiful and suits us perfectly thanks to Roberto and his team!"

Subcontractors questions, answered by experts

The requirement for building permits varies by location, but most building departments will require permits for any changes to the structural components of a home. They’ll also require them for changes to the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC components, as well as any permanent improvements to the land, including concrete patios or foundations for additions or outbuildings. You also might need permits for things like roof replacement and window replacement, depending on your local government.

There are several different steps in the pole barn building process. First, you’ll need construction plans, which you’ll use to obtain permits. Then, you can clear the land so it’s suitable for building and installing the foundation. Your contractor will frame the barn using large poles, then rough in the plumbing and electricity (if your barn has those elements) before finishing the interior, adding siding, and installing the roof. 

After that, they’ll finish up the electrical work and plumbing and add your windows and doors. You may have a few other finishing jobs to do like painting or waterproofing.

Construction typically takes 1-3 weeks, depending on the project’s scope and customization.

A contract should outline the scope of work, timelines, costs, payment schedule, and materials used for clarity and protection.

Common pitfalls include underestimating the cost of site preparation, overlooking permit and utility fees, and not setting aside funds for unexpected changes. Change orders during construction can disrupt your budget. It’s best to plan a detailed budget, obtain multiple quotes, and include a 10% to 15% contingency fund for unexpected expenses.
